Hey Fellow Occupiers!

This is a great film that underscores the need for Fair Elections and the overturning to Citizens Untied. Here are some of the directors observations while making the film- "The more time we spent filming around Congressional office buildings, the more we came to believe that there is one underlying reason why our representatives in Washington D.C. can’t solve these problems: money.The place is swarming with lobbyists, many of whom are well-heeled conduits for a flood of special interest campaign cash, money that candidates desperately need more than ever. The 2010 mid-term election was the most expensive in our history, over $4 billion. The last mid-term, in 2006, cost $2.6 billion. In 2010, incumbents had to spend more than $9 million on average to hold on to their Senate seats and almost $1.6 million to keep the average House seat."~Steve Cowan

I encourage all to check out the trailer ( http://www.pricelessmovie.org/ ) and spread the word that this very important aspect of our politics be addressed.  A true CALL TO ACTION for the 99%!

Priceless also airs on most PBS station from now through June
